Vile Lasagna@itsfoss Once I had to try andput together a .deb package I vowed to never touch anything that uses them ever again. Yeesh
@itsfoss For real, though. They'e so cursed. You have to write a hacky nonsense makefile that then relies on some weird stuff and... friend, this is like a fancy zip!
I'd been assembling RPMs for a while too to maintain out own private package repo, and they're so nicely behaved and well thought. The shock was so intense

I haven't tried building RPM's, but building Pacman .pkg files is quite nice.
If I had to build .deb packages, I would personally make an Arch package first, then convert it using fpm.

@minecraftchest1 @itsfoss the only sane way I know it's to build them straight from CMake with.CPack.
Pacman pkg files are also pretty well behaved, yeah, they are fine. Arch is what I use on my personal computers and I have edited a few packages here and there
